>> at least 21 people are dead and wide areas are flooded but it missed the worse from typhoon hagupit. the storm did not cause as much devastation as expected earlier. some of the nearly 1 million people who were riding out the storm in shelters have now begun returning home. horrible. >> uh-huh. back here meteorologist melissa magee has the lowdown on some changing weather, not typhoon-wise but it will be -- >> we have our own issue it will be the nor'easter moving in later tonight. when we wake up everyone will be feeling that soaking rain. scan shows us we had light snow a-bit of a coating down across south jersey early this morning. that precipitation moving away. what we are watching and what we're anticipating as we get

into the rest of tonight is this nor'easter dumbing from the south to north direction. temperatures ahead of that storm though quite chilly, a chilly start to our monday. most spots have been in the 30's all day. the exception areas north and west, the poconos 22, allentown 28 degrees. philadelphia coming in at 32 with the wind chill only in the 20's. the upper 30's for both sea isle city and atlantic city at the boardwalk. here's satellite satellite 6 alh action radar. what we are tracking is this surface low, this area of low pressure forming just off the coast of the carolinas. and you can see some moisture already starting to spill across the areas in the southeast. this will work its way from a south side to north direction as we go throughout the overnight hours and into tuesday. future tracker 6 showing you 1 o'clock in the morning you do notice some moisture, some light rainfall down across south jersey and delaware still to the south of philadelphia but as we get into the overnight hours 3:30 in the morning, some heavy rain right now from lakehurst down to atlantic city on westward into dover and you notice across our northwest suburbs a little bit of mixed precipitation for berks, lehigh and northampton

counties up through the poconos. that's where we had that winter weather advisory that is in effects. it goes into effect tonight lasting right through the first half of the day tomorrow. but then that wall of water comes rushing in at 7 o'clock in the morning. so definitely slow going for the commute tomorrow morning and even where we had that mix north and west you will also see a changeover to rain, the exception might be the poconos. now as we get into 12:30 tomorrow afternoon we still have that moisture to contend with and it does move out as we get into 5 o'clock in the evening but the problem with this storm system is that it could linger for a day or so as we get into after tuesday. so what to expect over the next 24 hours for inlands locations, 1 to 2 inches of rainfall possible street and stream flooding. gusts anywhere from 30 to 40 miles per hour. at the shore we could find up to 3-inches of rain, coastal flooding beach erosion and winds gusting any from 40 to 50 miles per hour. that's one part of the storm and that's going to be a good clunk of the storm. this is going to be mostly rain for most locations but north and west you have that brief ice then changing over

to rain overnight and into tuesday morning but for the poconos carbon monroe counties 3 to 6 inches of snow and ice. this is tonight into tuesday for the poconos and then we could have some lingering effects as we get any other middle half of our work week here. the call from accuweather for the rest of tonight brief icing north and west changing over to all rain. temperatures 35 in the city, 30 in the suburbs holding steady then slowly rising as we go throughout the overnight hours. the seven-day forecast, a wind driven soaking rain tomorrow, high temperature 41. on wednesday, some snow showers especially around for the commute on wednesday morning, a temperature, a chilly one at just 39 degrees. win windy, too. clouds dee with a flurry or two on thursday a-high of 39. 40's break out on friday, so does the sunshine, temps in the upper 40's next weekend. we'll be tracking a nor'easter throughout tonight and into tomorrow, guys. >> okay. >> thank you very much. >> thanks mel melissa. we'll be updating current conditions as the storm hits
